Also on display at the gallery are the amazing works of @artistchristopherulrich , @frankforteart, and @jasmineworth. Here I am on the opening night wearing a top made by @chernobyl_show_design and the dress is by me. I’m standing next to Beehive Bouquet. To read it’s story description and to see more detailed images, see my previous post. There is an antique brass key on this piece that plays the tune Clair De Lune when turned. Clair De Lune was inspired by the french poem of the same name. This tune and poem greatly inspired this piece. Here is an English translation: Your soul is a delicate landscape Where roam charming masks Playing the lute and dancing seeming almost sad under their whimsical disguises. While singing in a minor key Of victorious love and easy life. They don't seem to believe in their happiness, And their song mingles with the moonlight, With the sad and beautiful moonlight, Which makes the birds in the trees dream, And sob with ecstasy the water streams.
